Yammers thread 9!

Yammer rules:

A safe place for those of you who have been trying to conceive for 6+ months and even yams aren’t helping. Come and have a good ol’ bitch and a moan without judgement. Please read the rules before posting!

The Yam Commandments are as follows;

  • Thou shalt not arrive one day and post BFP next day
  • Thou shalt not give advice to others when TTC for one month only
  • Thou shalt not participate in one-up-manship and realise TTC is shit for everyone in different ways
  • Thou shall allow posters to be fucked off with the world and everything in it at regular points in the month
  • Thou shalt not be offended by strong language
  • Thou shalt not tell everyone to eat yams
  • Thou shall accept being called a muppet for testing at 7dpo at 9pm at night
  • Thou shalt not symptom spot during the two week wait and must be prepared for a telling off if you do so.

-Thou shalt not post pictures of positive pregnancy tests. We will be delighted to hear about it but no photos, please and thank you

Oh such heartbreak on this thread over the last few days. It seems so unfair. Sending lots of love @maddiie @strawberrye and everyone.

Good luck with your scan tomorrow @PinkEmi , it must be so nervewracking but fingers crossed for a lovely little heartbeat xx

@ivf2019 and @ImpatientMammy Thanks guys... I just feel a bit worried about it. I just want to get it over and done with.. so I can know if everything is okay. But at the same time.. if everything isn't okay.. i kinda dont want to know.. Confused

maddiie · 26/11/2018 15:51

Pinkemi · 26/11/2018 16:10

@maddiie oh no!! Sending you all of my love.. im so sorry. Sad

Si1ver · 26/11/2018 17:16

I'm so sorry @Maddiie. Life isn't fair.

maddiie · 26/11/2018 17:47

Thanks all. Scan tomorrow to see what's going on but doctor has said it won't be a viable pregnancy. It all felt too good to be true from the second I saw two lines on that test. DH keeps saying we'll try again but frankly I feel completely terrified at the thought. How does anyone do this Sad

CrossedToTheDarkSide · 26/11/2018 21:33

Brand new here guys! Terrified and feel like bawling. Have been TTC for our first for 6 months+. Just discovered DP might have fertility issues due to a childhood operation (although we aren't quite sure what he had done as he doesn't remember) waiting on a private SA on Thursday and his notes being chased up by GP as they're not on the computer as too long ago.
How do you wonderful amazingly strong ladies cope?! This TTC shit is kicking my ass and I'm still a newbie. I'm so distracted and worried all the time not knowing what's gunna happen and keep getting myself hopeful and then trying really hard not to! I feel like I'm going mad already. Please tell me this is "normal"?! I literally can't imagine ever getting a BFP the way I feel right now. :(

CrossedToTheDarkSide · 26/11/2018 21:35

Also so sorry to everyone for the recent bad news! My heart goes out to you amazing women and you are an inspiration the way you all keep going and keep each other going. Flowers

Teachermummy83 · 26/11/2018 22:35

Just catching up ladies after taking a few days off to mope and can’t believe all the heartache I’m reading, so sorry for your losses :-(
I keep thinking and hoping Christmas will be the lucky time for us all - we’re well overdue some good news. If not, we’ve decided that normally depressing January will be even more-so as we’re admitting we’ve got a problem and heading to the doctors. Dreading that moment so fingers crossed for one last ditch attempt..... xx

LimpLettice · 27/11/2018 07:32

Maddiie no words just hugs. It's totally shit, totally.

maddiie · 27/11/2018 12:57

@LimpLettice Thanks. Scan in an hour. Whatever happens now at least I'll be out of limbo and know what's going on. X

ImpatientMammy · 27/11/2018 14:15

Hope your ok @maddiie xxxThanks

maddiie · 27/11/2018 15:10

Well I'm completely baffled. The doctor who phoned me yesterday with my hcg results literally told me that there is no possibility of the pregnancy being viable and that it was unheard of for levels like mine to lead to a successful pregnancy.

The doctor I just spoke to has said that my scan looks perfect, there's a good sized gestational sac and a healthy looking yolk sac. No fetal pole but he wouldn't expect to see that yet and that 15% of pregnancy's hcg doesn't double and he sees no reason why I won't go on to have a healthy pregnancy.

I want to be happy but after being told it was over I'm just so confused. So so confused. Guess I just have to tough it out for 10 days and pray we see a baby on the next scan.

Si1ver · 27/11/2018 15:13

How confusing for you @Maddiie. Tentative good news though. I can imagine it's going to be a very long ten days. I shall keep everything crossed for you.

CrossedToTheDarkSide · 27/11/2018 15:22

@maddiie keeping everything crossed for you! What an emotional roller coaster.

strawberrye · 27/11/2018 15:31

@Maddiie goodness how confusing. I'm sure the uncertainty is really tough. Keeping everything crossed for you and pleased to hear it wasn't bad news

maddiie · 27/11/2018 15:44

Thanks all. My heads well and truly messed up. Won't survive these next 10 days if I keep googling and posting my fears on here so going to take a step back and just try and focus on letting what will be, be. I'll update after my next scan. Thanks for the support through an emotional few days xx

Owlpatrol · 27/11/2018 18:19

Hi guys updates weren't coming through to me either!!! So sorry to hear of the heartbreak these last few days Sad Im here for you all sending big hugs.
